How Does our Garden Grow?

Teigr

Azaleas do very well in our borders @WelshBlue,but I have several in pots as well.

My favourite one(also in a pot)hasn't bloomed yet.

I love my only being able to do my growing pots. It’s the last hobby I can only just manage pain to do. 
But I am overwhelmed by all you lovely peoples post. So I think I will be sticking to just reading x

ada i used to be a farmer now i have to work out how to do things easy but taking 3 times as long does not detract from the satisfaction of doing it just the neighbours dobbing me in when dawnies not around bless her

@ada have you thought about raised flower beds? It'd save the pain of getting down to the dirt and you can still have lots of pretty things around.

Lots of forget-me-nots at the end of my garden. They come up every year. I try to keep this bit more wild for the birds and the beasties

Don’t have any dirt. I only have a small paved backyard. I grow everything in pots. And have everything I need at standing height or even sitting. It’s just muscle wasting and  arthritis n crumbling spine that gets in the way. Lol. 
Yet it’s more painful doing it then housework or walking. Probably because it’s the thing I love doing the most lol. 
I’m trying to do ten minutes at a time. But once you get going you want to keep at it. X

these pics are just flowers for out front when there ready. For the bees and butterflies. 
But I still haven’t done my salad n veg yet. Probably tackle in a little while

Your garden looks lovely @ada

Ada

Thank you @Sandy_123 It’s certainly big enough for me. A lounger and cuppa and the sound of water is all I need. All the pots will go out the tiny front garden that are mainly wild flowers. And I then use the wall n greenhouse for my salad n veg pots. 
Thats when I get back out there today and do them

It's looking fab @Ada I'm loving the little owl.

I have x2 best friends when I’ve finished. Mr making me a cuppa and my tens. I’m in agony yet again. But getting things done. 
I need to buy more compost to do more. 

Ada

Thank you @Albus_Scope
its obviously nothing like Everyone’s garden on here but it’s my little bit of heaven. When all the flowers go out the front and the salad n veg are on the wall. It’s lovely for me to see.

I'll try to take some pictures of things growing in our garden soon!

michael57

just a random thought how many of you with gardens grow and cut flowers to display in the house 

Albus_Scope

I do the growing, sis does the cutting to put around the house.  I think I've got the harder part of this deal.

haha we grow but never have cut flowers for the house we much prefer to see them just growing in the garden 

Albus_Scope

Oh totally, I much prefer seeing them outside too.  But sometimes a few spares around the house can really brighten a room up.
